Hello, The cream contains tretinoin which can cause burning sensation initially it does settle in few days. Thought the creams gives good results quickly but not good for long term use due to harmful effects of steroid. You need to discontinue it and go for lighter depigmenting agents like niacinamide, kojic acid, liquorice vit C etc and sunscreen. Consult a dermatologist before starting any cream.
